Caught in the Act!

 America Ferrera, lunching with a male friend at
a corner table inside New York's the Coffee Shop in Union Square. The
Ugly Betty star will soon be calling the Big Apple home: Production
on her hit show has relocated to the city for the third season.

 New mom Jessica Alba, browsing at Anat B in
Beverly Hills. According to a source, the actress wasn't
quite ready to try on too many things. But Alba did leave with one item, a
white belted jacket with a wide white belt and ruching at the sides.

 Audrina Patridge, posing for a photo with
David Archuleta at Katana in West Hollywood. The Hills star was dining at the Japanese eatery – and so was the young
Idol runner-up, who ate specialties from the sushi bar and kitchen with about 20
people, including fellow Idol stars Brooke White, Kristy Lee
Cook and Syesha Mercado. A source tells us that the Idol crew loves to eat at Katana before heading out on their annual
summer tour.

 Chace Crawford may have skipped his pal Ed Westwick's bash in Las Vegas – but the Gossip Girlhottie didn't miss a minute during a birthday party for his manager, Eric Podwall. At the bash – held on the roof and inside the Motley
Bird Nest, an energy drink company in L.A. – Crawford politely greeted
the female admirers who immediately flocked to him. The actor was the hit of
the party, but reserved his attention for one girl in particular who sported
a tuxedo-style white and black dress. The two shared a drink, private
conversation and even their phone numbers, an onlooker reports. At one
point, she even stole the baseball cap off his head and wore it –though Crawford didn't seem to mind.

 Meanwhile, Podwall's bash was a who's who of young Hollywood: Adam Brody sipped an energy drank and chatted with Jamie-Lynn Sigler. And Brody Jenner didn't stray too far from pal
Frankie Delgado. Also there: Rumer Willis, who
arrived late but made up for it by chatting with plenty of party
guests, including Desperate Housewives' Shawn Pyfrom.
